If you’ve ever seen a fox kit, you know the cuteness is off the charts. They’re usually shy, which is why this story stands out. An Illinois woman found herself hosting a whole fox family right under her porch.
Her grandchild, Reddit user Vechrotex, shared the moment online: two baby foxes darting in and out from the porch, pouncing on leaves and chasing each other like it was their own playground. Since Grandma’s home sits by the woods, wildlife isn’t unusual, but this was pure magic.

According to Vechrotex, the mother fox visits regularly, sometimes with the kits, sometimes solo. Even when the little ones are busy playing, Mom keeps a watchful eye, then gently ushers them back to the den. A tiny slice of fairy tale, right on Grandma’s front steps.
